Equipment

1 Large baking tray

1 Mixing bowl

1 Whisk

Ingredients

100 g Sorghum Flour
20 g Raw Cocoa Powder
1 tbsp Flax seeds ground
1 tsp Psyllium Husk
½ tsp Baking Soda
Pinch Sea Salt
130 g Date Paste blended soaked dates
60 g Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 large Egg room temp
1½ tsp Vanilla Extract
30 g Coconut Sugar optional for extra caramel notes
60 g Dark Chocolate 70-85%, roughly chopped
90 g Cadbury Mini Eggs crushed, plus extra for topping
30 g Walnuts crushed
¼ tsp Baking Powder gluten-free

Instructions

Prep the Base: Blend soaked dates into a smooth paste. In a large bowl, whisk the date paste, olive oil, egg, vanilla, and coconut sugar until creamy.
Combine: Sift in the dry ingredients (sorghum, cocoa, flax, psyllium, leavening agents, and salt). Fold until a soft dough forms.
The Hydration Rest: Let the dough sit for 10 minutes. This allows the sorghum and psyllium to absorb moisture for a tender texture.
Fold & Chill: Fold in the chopped dark chocolate, walnuts and crushed Mini Eggs. Refrigerate the dough for 25–30 minutes to prevent over-spreading.
Shape & Bake: Preheat oven to 175°C (160°C fan). Form into 6 large or 12 regular balls. Place on a silicone mat and flatten slightly.
The Finish: Bake for 13–15 minutes. They will look soft! Let them cool completely on the tray to set into their fudgy, brownie-like consistency.

Notes

Yield: 6 large or 12 medium cookies

Freeze dough balls on a tray, then bag. Bake from frozen at 175°C, add 2–3 mins.

Storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Pro Tip: Press 2–3 whole Mini Eggs into the tops immediately after baking for that professional bakery look. I usually add them before baking because I always forget.
